buildah
The rootless image builder as a module (novox/hq ADR 0487, issue 1702).
- The only module that declares the package
buildah(checks/toolchains), and the only one that providesrootless-image-build(checks/imagebuild; docker never does). - Provides
rootless-image-buildwith the machine's reach: mesh-build-image requires it, so it composes only on a machine where this module is assigned, and a node without it is refused at resolution namingbuildah. - No account and no subordinate-id word. The node-engine makes every
useraccount withuseradd, which allocates the account 65536 subordinate uids and gids; mesh-build-image's own account gets its ranges that way and its health proves them (it reads /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid). - The helpers (an OCI runtime, passt, containers-common) come as buildah's package dependencies.
- Holds no long-running resource, so it adds nothing to
health-undeclared.
